Mt. Kulis, Tanay, Rizal: Day Hike and Scenic Adventure

Embark on a guided day hike to the summit of Mt. Kulis from Manila. Watch the sunrise from the summit and witness the sea of clouds.
Early Start for a Stunning Sunrise

The trek starts from the base camp, where you’ll be greeted by experienced and friendly guides who are familiar with the terrain. They’ll ensure you’re well-prepared for the hike, providing information about the trail and answering any questions you might have.

As you start your ascent, you’ll trek through a mixture of dirt paths, grassy fields, and rocky areas. The first part of the trail is relatively gentle, allowing you to warm up your muscles and adjust to the early hour. The darkness will make it feel like an adventure as you move through the quiet wilderness, with only the sounds of nature surrounding you.

Scenic Views and Key Highlights Along the Trail

About halfway through the hike, you’ll reach the **Kubo Area**, one of the major rest stops where you can take a breather. Here, you’ll get your first glimpse of the rolling hills and valleys that make Mt. Kulis such a popular hiking destination. The sight of the lush greenery under the starlit sky adds a sense of serenity to the trek.

Reaching the Summit

By **5:30 AM**, you should reach the summit of Mt. Kulis. The timing is perfect to witness the breathtaking **sea of clouds** that often forms at this altitude, depending on the weather. Watching the sunrise from the summit is a truly magical experience—the sky slowly changes colors, from deep blue to hues of orange and pink, painting a picture of tranquility and hope.

As you stand at the top, the vast expanse of the Sierra Madre mountain range lies before you, and the distant Laguna de Bay glimmers in the morning light. This is the perfect moment to pause and reflect, taking in the stunning creation around you. It’s a humbling experience that makes the early wake-up call and the effort of the hike entirely worth it.

You’ll have some time to rest, enjoy a snack, and take pictures. Make sure to hydrate and fuel up for the descent.

The Descent: An Easy Walk Back

At around **7:00 AM**, you’ll begin the descent. The return trip takes you down the same path, but now with the added benefit of daylight, you can better appreciate the beauty of the landscape. The descent is usually faster, and by this time, the air is still cool enough to make for a comfortable hike back.

Your guide will lead the way, ensuring that everyone descends safely. You’ll pass through the same landmarks—Kubo Area, Knife’s Edge, and Heart Peak—this time appreciating them from a new perspective. The descent is less physically demanding but still requires focus, especially in rocky or slippery sections.

By around **10:00 AM**, you’ll arrive back at the base camp, where you can freshen up, stretch, and reflect on the rewarding adventure. Many hikers take this time to chat with their fellow hikers or guides, sharing stories of the hike and the views they’ve seen.
